Can Florida Learn & Serve funds be used to support after-school programs, either those that are part of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers or other after-school activity?
It depends. Florida Learn & Serve funds can support service-learning activities that occur at whatever time(s) are most convenient for them to occur. However, those students’ activities must be tied to curricula, courses, and grades, and not just be co-curricular. If, for example, as part of their language arts class, middle school students tutor younger students in reading in an after school program, Florida Learn & Serve funds may be used. However, if middle schoolers are helping younger students with reading after school, and the reading is not tied to the middle schoolers’ language art class/grade/assignments, FL&S funds may not be used.
